HOW IT IS MADE

A landrace barley variety pre 1898. Old Irish is an indigenous barley from Ireland, the oldest barley appeared in Ireland known so far! In ancient time, barley were only named based on their geographical origin. This landrace is well adapted to Irish environmental conditions due to thousands of years of local adaptation. It is a unique reservoir of genetic variability accumulated throughout its ancestry.”

Malted in a Melanoidin style at our sister pilot plant in Antwerp. Stewed during germination to build heat, thus allowing the maillard reaction to produce high colour followed by aggressive kilning for maximum aroma and flavour.
